I’m eager to see if this one passes our own Symantec AV scan test. Just that their nature seems to get them blacklisted. To be clear I’m not suggesting these tools are virus/trojan in content in any way, shape, or form. You either have to un-quarantine them (if allowed) or find an alternative that passes the AV test sigs.

Unfortunately, many enterprise and home-user anti-virus/anti-malware apps now treat these (maybe rightly so) as potential “hack-tools” and often will nuke them when used on a system. Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is another freeware goodie that is Open Source now as well. That’s super-handy when you are doing recovery-work on a system via an image-file of the off-line system (or mounted WIM file). When using this option, ProduKey automatically scan all your hard-drives, find the Windows installation folder in them, and extract all product keys stored in these Windows installations.” One of the handiest features in a recent version update is the ability to “…load the product keys of external Windows installations from all disks currently plugged to your computer. Download ProduKey - ProduKey is a small utility that displays the ProductID and the CD-Key of Microsoft Office (Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007), Windows (Including Windows 8/7/Vista. In addition to pulling the product keys for the local system/account, you can also do remote-system access as well.

I personally like ProduKey v1.36 from Nir Sofer.
